About Me

As Development Manager at 4Matrix, I lead the design, development and delivery of our software products, helping to ensure schools have access to reliable, intuitive and continually evolving tools. Since joining 4Matrix in 2009, I've played a key role in shaping the technical direction of the platform. I developed the original desktop application and have since overseen the move to a modern cloud-based architecture, helping us deliver new features more quickly while providing customers with a more scalable, flexible and accessible experience. My role combines hands-on development with team leadership and strategic planning. I enjoy working closely with colleagues across the business to solve problems, improve our products and ensure we're delivering the best possible experience for schools. Technology moves quickly, and one of the things I enjoy most is finding better ways to build software and supporting the team in delivering high-quality solutions efficiently. Outside of work, I'm a keen football fan and enjoy both playing and watching the game. I'm also passionate about music, which provides a welcome opportunity to switch off and recharge away from work.
